I was surprised either when I heard dr. Beck comments about garlic. If that was true I would have empty brain by now because I was eating garlic since I was kid. And I work with my brain :) Garlic is know to be great since thousands years
so no questions about it.

BTW, Beck died relatively young so I wouldn't be so sure about everything he was saying...

The only time i'veever had a problem with it is because of IBS.... but other then that I think its great! I love the stuff :D

If I recall, the Beck literature that advises against the use of garlic was in the context of anecdote and for " military uses ". Beck said the military forbade its pilots from flying if they had consumed garlic within (if I recall correctly ) 24 hours prior to a flight. Given that context coupled with the fact that Beck did not really clarify the exact nature of this " cognition problems ", is this valid reason for the average person to avoid garlic? My opinion is an emphatic no ESPECIALLY since most of us average people will never be on missions flying military craft or the like. Also bear in mind that there is a difference between raw and cooked, both of which can be used for culinary purposes, and if I was to have serious suspicions with garlic it would be with cooked garlic, not raw.... but did Beck ever clarify which ( or both ) forms of garlic he said not to eat because of cognition problems?

On the overal, even given the element of mystery to this work I was somewhat fascinated with Beck's work / literature in this respect ( zapping / electrification, Colloidal Silver , etc) especially on his version of zapper. I still have a silver puppy...and I'll be darned, I have never been able to find anyone to give me a good explanation as to why I develope a rash after doing even very short courses of " electrification " at the radial pulse point. After only 2 or 3 days of such, I always get a rash that ends up looking something like poison ivy...... ? The closest I've ever come is one person on a different forum suggested this might happen if I don't have enough water in me.

Garlic is good.It is used in many natural cure processes of general and specific diseases such as cold,tooth pain etc. Its used differently for different purposes.

I wonder, too. I've gotten into the habit of eating a LOT of garlic!!! A little raw and a lot cooked.
Here's an article saying there was a study showing it is good for the brain, contrary to the claims you are referring to.
Andreas Moritz, "Amazing Liver Flush" guy, says Aruveydic and other ancient systems say "NO garlic." Haven't checked that out yet.
There are so many studies showing garlic lowers cancer rates and kills cancer cells... but the argument against says it kills good bacteria and healthy cells...
Would sure like to see some more on both sides of this!

If you notice Mr. Beck did not use one reference accept his own machine? Also he said that to get garlic into an open would was deadly. Interesting because both the English and the Russians used garlic as a sulfa drug to treat wounded soldiers during WW2, and politesses are used on open wounds all of the time. Also he says that eating raw garlic is poisonous. I ate 30 plus cloves of raw garlic for over a year and it helped me cure a case of prostate cancer and solve numerous other diseases like skin cancer and Arthritis in my feet, knees, low back, neck, and fingers. And if you look on this site you will notice many people talking about the cures they got by using garlic for their diseases.

Also Dr. Richard Schulze has lead many large groups through the Liver Gallbladder Cleanse using large amounts of Garlic. I attended more then one of his classes where this was done.

I hate to say it but I feel that Beck did a great disservice to everyone with that video. I just hope that no one has died from following his advice as it is very wrong headed. I may be wrong but I think Beck was just into his machines and not into diet, herbs and supplements as many health people are.
